The quick answer to your question is yes, it is possible. Many patients who are being treated for MDS for example have normal blood counts, but abnormally shaped cells, so they still have MDS, but they may be asymptomatic due to having normal counts.

Blood diseases very rarely disappear on their own and eventually tend to get worse. My disease held extremely stable for about 4 years. Aside from bruising, everything else looked normal. My CBC looked virtually unchanged from week to week, month to month, even year to year. Eventually, the MDS changed and became more aggressive, requiring transplant in hopes of a cure.
